Friday mornings are a nice "break" for me. Usually Eric is home so I don't have to get the kids up, fed, and ready to head out the door at 7:30. I sleep in half an hour later than my normal 6:00 wake-up, get ready for school, then have a chance to sit and read the paper while I eat my cereal before leaving for school. It definitely makes for a nicer end of the week!

Sometimes the kids wake up before I leave, sometimes they're still snoozing. Today Conner and Audrey both came downstairs as I was sitting at the kitchen table. Aud had panties and jeans on and was carrying her (Dora) t-shirt; Conner was still in his pj's. I guess she'd woken up, took off her pj's and diaper, and gotten her panties on. Conner said he'd helped her button her jeans (but apparently she put those on by herself, too!). Says Conner, "I'm so proud of her!" Very cute.
